Arian Smith WR | NYJ
Jets' Arian Smith: Catches lone target in Week 8 win
Smith caught his only target for 23 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. He also had an 18-yard kickoff return.
Smith's catch kick-started the Jets' game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. The rookie fourth-round pick seems unlikely to be used as anything more than an occasional deep target after the Jets' Week 9 bye considering he had just one target Sunday despite the absences of Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip).

Tyler Warren TE | IND
Colts' Tyler Warren: Gains 53 yards Sunday
Warren finished with four receptions on five targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 38-14 rout of the Titans.
Warren couldn't extend his scoring streak to five games after not being on the receiving end of any of QB Daniel Jones' three touchdown strikes Sunday. The 23-year-old Warren didn't leave fantasy managers empty-handed on National Tight Ends Day after recording at least 50 receiving yards for the sixth time in eight starts this year. The impressive rookie is up to 492 receiving yards on 37 receptions with four combined touchdowns as the Colts prepare to face the Steelers in Week 9.

Jeremy Ruckert TE | NYJ
Jets' Jeremy Ruckert: One catch in Week 8 win
Ruckert caught his only target for 24 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals.
Ruckert maintained a secondary role as Mason Taylor (quadriceps) suited up after being listed as questionable. Taylor led the team with eight targets and caught the game-winning touchdown. Ruckert's likely to remain in a backup role after the Jets' Week 9 bye.

Isaiah Williams WR | NYJ
Jets' Isaiah Williams: Chips in with three catches in win
Williams caught three of four targets for 31 yards and rushed once for 25 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. He also tallied five kickoff returns for 132 yards and returned three punts for 38 yards.
Williams played his usual role as a return man on special teams but also got a chance to contribute meaningfully on offense with the Jets missing wide receivers Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip). Williams made the most of his opportunity, but his role on offense is unlikely to expand after the team's Week 9 bye.

Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Colts' Michael Pittman: Ties career mark with sixth TD
Pittman hauled in eight of nine targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.
Pittman finished Sunday's decisive victory leading his club across the board in targets, receptions and receiving yards. The Colts' top wideout also cashed in his sixth touchdown of the season, matching his previous career high from 2021 in nine fewer games. Pittman will carry a healthy 43-446-6 receiving line into next Sunday's road tilt against the Steelers.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Held to 45 yards on eight touches
Kamara gained 21 yards on six carries and caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay.
With Kendre Miller (knee) being placed on injured reserve this week, Kamara finished Sunday's contest as the only Saints RB to record a carry. However, that did not lead to a fruitful fantasy day after New Orleans abandoned the run early, passing 51 times compared to 15 rush attempts in the one-sided loss. Kamara's lack of involvement in the passing game has been concerning through eight weeks, as he is currently on pace to finish with a career-worst 306 receiving yards. Starting QB Spencer Rattler was benched in the second half of Sunday's loss, so a potential change under center could help unlock Kamara as a receiver against the Rams in Week 9.

Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Strong PPR effort Sunday
Olave corralled eight of 12 targets for 63 yards while losing three yards on his only rush attempt in Sunday's 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay.
Olave was unable to replicate last week's multi-score performance, but he still escaped Sunday's one-sided loss with a solid PPR score. The Saints' top wideout finished with double-digit targets for the sixth time in eight appearances this season. Olave has surpassed last year's production in an injury-shortened season with a 52-503-3 receiving line through eight starts in 2025. The Ohio State product checks in as New Orleans' safest fantasy option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Rams.
